Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to https://gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to https://myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Edit: links now work again

It's off for me by default, not sure why

Is your location in google somewhere in europe?

UK I think, although after checking from a pc, google flights, hotels, and maps were enabled instead of greyed out like on mobile

Might be a european thing, i need to check on my end

And the links no longer work.

Your second link will work if you remove the space before "gemini". I just used it and it worked fine.

Thanks! Fixed

Thanks for that! I had most disabled, but missed one switch, or they just added it and made it on by default. Pesky bitches.

Extensions link just send me straight to the regular Gemini page no matter what. No way to find extensions from there
